Chapter 41
He entered his bedroom, only to find Kate standing in her silk robe, , the one that ended just above her knees, near her bedside table lighting the last of the many candles that were decorating their room and he had to take a moment to calm his racing heart. She looked beautiful, the dim light and shadows dancing on her skin, she looked like a goddess. His very own. He stepped closer to her, she hadn't realized yet that he was in the room, so when his arms came around her, just like earlier that evening, she almost startled, but then immediately relaxed against him.
"You look even more beautiful now than in your dress this evening"
"I do?"
"Hmmm" he hummed the affirmative.
And you smell even more delicious too" he said, while slowly letting his nose brush against the side of her face and then bury itself a little in her hair.
she squirmed a little in his embrace, the things he was doing was making her shiver and her cheeks reddened at how fast he could make her needy. The feeling of the wetness pooling between her legs from just the little things he was doing to her, told her just how much she's been waiting to have him.
"Rick…" she turned to look at him, and his eyes had already darkened. She bit down on her lip, and his gaze shifted to her lips. He lowered his face and kissed her lips hungrily. She hummed and moaned as she found herself getting week in the knees. How he managed to make her body react this way with just a kiss was beyond her.
His arms wrapped around her were holding her up otherwise, she would have melted to the floor.
She finally pulled away from him for oxygen and he let their foreheads maintain that connection.
"Slow down, I have to change into something for you"
"You do?" he pulled away to look at her, and the excitement in his eyes, the look of a child on Christmas day, it made her laugh.
"Yea…" she began to unbutton his shirt "so why don't you take your clothes off and wait for me in bed, I'll be right out" she looked up at his baby blues, to find him staring at her in awe.
He nodded and began to unbutton his shirt
"I'll be waiting for you, hurry"
"I will" she said with a wink, and turned to walk into the bathroom, when she noticed something on his and while he was unbuttoning the button on his wrist.
"Castle, is that nail polish?" Rick took a moment to understand what she was saying, still too dazed from the idea of what she was going to put on for him.
"Huh?" he asked, and then he looked at his hand, where her atten tion was, and saw that all of his nails were painted blue.
"Oh my god!" he exclaimed in horror, and Kate almost doubled over in laughter
"I think I just got a little turned off by that" she said.
"What?! No! No! I'll turn you on again! Let me go find that nail polish remover!"
Kate was laughing so hard and Rick began to explain while he rushed to the vanity that Kate used when she dressed every morning for work. "Alexis was putting on nail polish, and she said she wanted to just try out a color to see how it would look, I didn't think she'd paint all five of my fingers"
"Alright alright, I get it castle, I'm going in to change, when I'm out, I want to see your manly fingers again okay, they're not going anywhere with nail paint on them" she said with a wink and then disappeared into the bathroom.
Rick quickly got the paint off and then undressed and got under the covers to wait for her.
2 minutes later
"You ready?" her voice came from behind the door
"Come see for yourself" he said in reply.
"Just a minute" she said. And castle was getting impatient.
"You know, you don't really need to wear anything, I'm just going to take it off of you"
"Oh trust me, I know. That was my initial idea, to not wear anything"
Ricks mouth began to water, the image of his wife, completely naked, walking toward him, that would be the best anniversary gift ever.
"What changed your mind?" he asked. His member already hard under the covers from the thought of his wife completely naked for him.
"It's our anniversary Rick, I have to wear something"
"Okay, will you get out here now, I'm getting a little lonely in here"
He realized he had forgotten to take his watch off, so he turned to keep it away in his bedside drawer and when he turned back to look at the door, the sight in front of him almost made him come undone right there.
His mouth hung open in awe, his heart began to race. He'd never seen anything more perfect before.
There, standing at the end of his bed, was Kate Beckett, naked from head to toe, except for one piece of clothing, and what choice of clothing it was.
Hanging loosely around her neck was a tie. And it wasn't just any tie. It was custom made. And he couldn't decide what to look at first, her smooth creamy skin that glowed beautifully in the dim light of the room, or that great looking tie, resting between her two beautiful breasts. Her hair was let down, and it hung beautiful over her shoulders, falling just above her breasts.
The tie was his gift he assumed. But she had decided that the best way to gift it to him, was this, and not wrapped up in some meaningless gift wrapping paper.
"Do you like it?" she asked nervously, her hands feeling a little restless, until she finally decided to just let them go behind her back as his eyes wandered her body.
"Do I like it? Kate you're wearing a tie that is covered with all of the cover art from all of the books I've written about you. You're standing naked in front of me, wearing a tie that has your alter ego naked all over it, and you're asking me if I like it?"
She laughed and it was the most beautiful sound he had heard ever.
"I love it, I absolutely love it" he said.
"It's yours" she said.
"You're mine" he said.
"Well, yea… I mean, the tie, it's my gift to you."
"Best gift ever" he mumbled, as he licked his lips, his gaze now trained to her breasts. Honestly, he though naked Kate would have been the best gift ever, but naked Kate with a Nikki Heat tie was even better.
"Come here" he said and she did as she was told, making her way to his side of the bed, and it was only then that he saw she was wearing her red stilettos. And it only heightened his need to have her in bed. She seemed more confident now, as she made his way to him, and then in a second, she threw the covers off of him, and climbed into his lap, straddling his lap.
He couldn't help himself, his hands flew to her waist, to feel the warmth of her skin under his palms, his eyes were on that tie, and how beautifully it flowed down between her chest, she put a finger under his chin and lifted his face up to get him to look at her
"If I knew this tie was going to distract you so much from me, I wouldn't have worn it"
What? No! It's not the tie. I mean it is the tie, but not just the tie..."
She chuckled "You're not making any sense"
"I just…" she kissed him softly. Her lips startling him for a second, and then he went with it, his hands wandered on her skin, and she ground down on him, allowing him to feel just how wet she was, and allowing herself the pleasure of knowing just how much she affects him.
He groaned on feeling that contact and pulled away to look down at her. She was just as needy as he was,
He looked back up at her "This tie looks better on you that it will on me"
She chuckled and began kissing his jaw, right up to his ear, where she softly, teasingly bit on his ear lobe, making it harder for him to take this slow.
"Before we start, let me make one thing clear"
"What?" she whispered in her low bedroom voice at his ear, her warm breath doing dangerous things to him as it washed over his ear.
